Gold warrior pendant, CW tidbits, and Ironmans foot!

[ModernMiner]

I hit the farm property for a few hours after work today. There were hunters in the woods so I concentrated on the dirt driveway in front of the house, and part of the large front lawn. This is the same farm that I've detected at for years now and have found most of my CW relics at. This time, I hunted with a lot less discrimination than before, and it has helped me greatly.
One of my first targets was a very cool old gold pendant with a round glass/stone (?) center that has some sort of warrior engraved into it. Above the red stone in gold is a birds head (hawk or eagle) with a tiny green gem eye. It looks to me like possibly Victorian era.
Any ideas on this piece or who the warrior is would be greatly appreciated.
I about soiled myself when I saw the rounded gold in the hole. I thought I had a gold coin.

Here are my finds:

*Gold pendant with bird & warrior (mentioned above) - No markings on the piece.

*Suspender clip - No markings or design.

*CW toe tap.

*Williams cleaner base

*1920 & 1941 Wheat pennies

*Ironmans foot

*Asst'd "what the heck are they" things.

Thanks for looking,
MM

Gold-filled warrior piece looks to have been part of a late 1800's fob.

Hey brother,

The gold warrior item is freakin kewl! Too bad it wasnt the gold coin though! The other items in the 3rd pick just look like some square nails or small spikes of some kind. The last item in the pics look to be like maybe a candle holder on the wall or something maybe looks like it would hang on the wall and u put the item through the hole and the bottom piece would keep it there kinds like a flag holder but that one has no angle on it. My best guess. Anyway good day and get out there again obviously theres more stuff hiding!!

That would be great too. I found this piece in the driveway about 10' from where I found an eagle artillery button awhile back.
There was an old house (1800's) that used to be right along side of this dirt driveway.
Thanks,
MM

nice finds and what an awesome button, wow! I guess I should have twisted your arm a little harder to hunt that site last weekend!

MM,
The last item looks like an old bottle opener that mounts on a Coke machine. The thin end was bolted to the machine and you put the bottle top under the larger end at an angle and push the bottle towards the machine and it popped the cap off. 1950's and before had these kind of bottle openers.

I could be wrong....but that's what it looks like to me.

Can't believe the "teeny" stone is still in there Doug...That's a great find.Keep em' coming Bud!!!!

Anytime big guy. The hunters should be gone as of Jan. 1st, then I can venture out into the 190+ acres again.
This property is actually part of the original 640 acre plantation property where you dug your Colonial coin. If you dig another in front of me we're going to have to arm wrestle for it. I'll bring a ladder.

[diggitdawg]

those are very cool finds, i agree with the bottle opener theory but to me it looks more like a hand held model with can opener on the other side ..... like for canned sodas & beer before pop tops. ty 4 sharing.
